DMC Mouliné Spécial 117 – Vintage Multipack – 160 Skeins – 6-Strand – 100% Cotton – Haberdashery Stock (Store Closure 2025) – LOT A9
This vintage multipack of DMC Mouliné Spécial 117 comes from the liquidation of a long-established haberdashery that closed in September 2025. All threads are new and unused, properly stored in a dry environment, free from mould, odours and yellowing.
The lot includes 160 skeins in total, with 2 skeins per colour, ideal for those looking for a substantial supply of original DMC thread from earlier production runs.
The skeins date from around 2020, the period when DMC introduced a production change. They feature the plastic packaging used in the last 6 years, typical of that manufacturing phase.
Sold at stock clearance price due to warehouse liquidation.
DMC Mouliné Spécial 117 is the world’s most widely used embroidery thread, appreciated for its consistent quality, colour performance and long-term durability. It is made from high-quality long-staple cotton, double-mercerised to achieve a smooth surface, silky sheen and excellent stitch definition.
The thread is 6-strand divisible, allowing full control over thickness and coverage, from fine detail work to bolder decorative stitching. The strands separate easily without fraying, ensuring clean and precise results.
The colours are lightfast and wash-resistant, so your embroidery retains its brightness and stability over time. All DMC threads are Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 certified, safe for skin contact and free from harmful substances.

Needle Recommendations: Best used with embroidery needles size 5–9 (depending on number of strands and fabric count).
Tip: Cut floss into lengths roughly fingertip‑to‑elbow (≈ 45–50 cm) before separating strands, to prevent tangling, fraying or colour degradation when stitching.
